ISROS (International
Society on Reliability of Optoelectronics for Systems) is a community which
encompasses a rich variety of professional, vocational, national cultures among
International Institutions as National Space Agencies, Industries and
Companies, Universities, Laboratories and Manufacturers all of them operating
in the domain of optoelectronics and photonics.

The seed of ISROS is the Space
domain. The Space industry believes very strongly in the benefits of standards
and standardization. As highlighted by one of the largest Space industry in
their letter of commitment for ISROS, "standards
provide the essential language of technical precision, quality and performance.
Standards are the single largest source of technical data used in the design
and build of our products; they are vital to achieving our goals of lean,
efficient design and production systems as well as large-scale, complex systems
integration. To collaborate with the rest of industry on a standards solution
is to make certain that external standards, used in concert with our internal
standards, ensure that we have the most reliable, high quality products
available. Working with ISROS will support this goal of industry standards
solutions”.

But many other sectors not only related to Space are also focused in the
needs for such standards. The Association aims at promoting scientific
fundamental and applied research primarily in the fields of materials,
components and systems based on optoelectronics use in high reliability
application, but also in all fields conventionally with harsh environments and
in particular the following:

-Space and Military,

- Aerospace (aircrafts,
spacecrafts, helicopters),

- Automotive,

- Railroad vehicles,

- Ships,

- Sub-marine network
telecommunications,

- Nuclear,

- Civil engineering structures,

- Medical,

- Telecommunications (fiber
optics networks and sytems).

Join ISROS to take advantages of this source of knowledge
and background.
